Irrational Fear #8

So I have a few irrational fears...

Definition of irrational: without or deprived of normal mental clarity or sound judgment.

With that definition, I understand this irrational fear is completely stupid. But whenever I'm watching a video online I get so nervous that the video is going to stop in the middle because it hasn't buffered all the way. Then the video will be stop-go-stop-go-stop-go the entire time -- how annoying! Plus, whenever I watch a video that isn't buffered all I can do is watch that little red line creep it's way over, I can't enjoy the gloriousness of the video at all. See red line example below:
So, if you ever watch a video with me, you'll have to wait with me until that little red line is all the way to the end before we start the video.

Snuggie Selebration

I've been in Grand Rapids, MI the past few days. It was Nikki's birthday about a week ago -- so of course we had to celebrate! And what kind of friend would I be if I didn't grace her with the wonderfulness that is a Snuggie?

After the Snuggie Selebration -- we of course made tiaras and Hannah Montana goodie bags. Happy Birthday Nikki!

The Face of Jesus

Ever since I was little I always pictures God to look like this: an old man with white hair, white beard, and his upper body popping out of a white cloud. I've always pictured Jesus to be a white man, brown long hair and a brown full beard. However, this is pretty inaccurate. But, I feel like the images that others have had are even less accurate than my child-imagination-Jesus.

Green Skylines

Disclaimer: I am a huge fan of skylines. Whenever I come across one I usually marvel at their beauty, I love the different heights on the skyscrapers, I love the lights and the uniqueness of each one I see. In every major city there is a skyline unlike any other -- I love them so much.

With that being said, I just don't understand skylines. Do the employees in these buildings intentionally leave on certain lights? Is there some sort of system to make sure some lights on each floor are left on? What about their electric bills? Wouldn't it be so much cheaper to turn them off? And how come these skylines haven't been told to turn them off? That's not going very green in my opinion.



I remember a couple years ago in California when Edison was having some sort of shortage and we were all told to keep lights off, stores all over OC turned their lights half off to save energy -- everyone was pitching in. Oh, except the skylines. I don't understand how skylines can get away with keeping lights on, when we are expected to go green. If you work for a building in the midst of a skyline please let me know. Thanks.
